If the weather reports are accurate, New York City is about to get pummeled by one of the biggest blizzards in the city’s history. The first flakes of what is being dubbed the #blizzardof2015 are just now beginning to settle as the city and its residents hunker down in preparation for a snow storm of epic proportions.
